You're right to ask for clarification! My previous interpretation of the image was incorrect. Let's re-examine the structure you provided in the photo and correctly identify the longest carbon chain.

The structure you drew is:

CH3−C2(CH3)=C3(C2H5)−CH3\text{CH}_3 - \text{C}_2(\text{CH}_3) = \text{C}_3(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5) - \text{CH}_3

Let's expand the C2H5\text{C}_2\text{H}_5 group to CH2CH3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3 to clearly see all the carbons.

\begin{array}{c} CH_3 \\ | \\ CH_3 - \text
